Special to the Gazette.
| WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Gossip is rife
to-day about the Interstate commerce
bill and who are likely to be the ap.
polntees. The appointments being for
/ five years, and the salary $500 per an
mum, they are very desirable berths. APP
/ plications are already coming in on the
congressman from their constituents.
| The most JudicouS thing, it is urged, for
the president to do will be to appoint
men of undoubted reputation, well known
TO the country at large, and whom the
public will have confidence in. The name
/ of Mr.. Morrison has been mentioned as
one of the preferable appointees. The
general impression seems to be that no
member of congress will be on the COM
mission, for the reason that he cannot fl
/ both positions. The commission will
likely be appointed by the president in
time to be confirmed by the senate. This,
of course, excludes all congressman not
